$s_{1}=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$ or $20=0+\frac{1}{2} a(2)^{2}$ or $a=10 \,ms ^{-1}$

$v=u+a t=0+(10 \times 2)=20\, ms ^{-1}$

$s_{2}=160=u t^{\prime}+\frac{1}{2} a^{\prime}\left(t^{\prime}\right)^{2}=(20 \times 4)+\left(\frac{1}{2} a^{\prime} \times 16\right) \Rightarrow a^{\prime}=10 \,ms ^{-2}$

since acceleration is the same, we have $v'=0+(10 \times 7)=70 \,ms ^{-1}$
